South Africa vs India, 5th ODI

Despite the series loss, this has been a superb tour for India. The last time they went to SA, they were beaten black and blue and suffered a 0-4 loss in the ODI series. This time, with its key members injured, the young brigade rose to the occassion and gave the home team a tough fight throughout the series. Despite not having players like Sachin, Sehwag and Gambhir, the Indians came close to winning the series. South Africa played consistent cricket and emerged deserving winners. All this will be history now as both the teams go in to the all important World Cup next month. It has been an absolute pleasure bringing this tour to you. On that, I, Karthik L, will sign out on behalf of Ajith and Pradeep. Keep following us, there is a lot of cricket to be played before the world cup!

Presentation:

Smith: Great to win the series after being 1-2 down. For me, to sign out here in this wonderful stadium and with a superb performance is feels good. We batted really well before the rain came and bowled well for most part of the match. Yusuf threatened to take the game away from us but we held our nerves in the end. We were aggressive in our bowling and overcame the Yusuf - Zaheer partnership. It is a superb learning experience for the youngsters and we believe we have the capacity to win the WC. I congratulate MS and the Indian team, it was a very close tournament.

Morne:Thanks to the crowd for turning up in numbers. We had a proper game plan. I liked bowling in this tour and was enjoying a good rhythm. I missed my areas a litlle bit today but i did well in the end. Bowling to Yusuf gives some butterflies in the stomach, he was my teammate in Rajasthan and enjoy bowling to him.

Morne Morkel is the Man of the series

Amla: I was not drifting in the first 3 games and did well here in the decider. The pitch was good to bat on and play some strokes. The series against India has been outstanding, the Tests and the ODIs have been thrilling. Looking forward to doing well in the World Cup.

Amla is the MoM for his outstanding 116

Dhoni: I think it was a disappointing series for the batsmen. The bowlers bowled well but the batting unit performed poorly. The wicket was good, if we had wickets in hand we could've done better. We played too many strokes and got out. Yusuf can clear any ground in the world. The biggest learning from this game is that if we have wickets in hand we can chase any target. The WC will be a different tournament altogether, we will have our main players back. SA has been a great place. The crowd is wonderful and people come in numbers to support their team. I love playing in front of packed houses and enjoyed the tour here

Well, what a game this was - its been that kind of a tour. It looked like it was going to be an easy win for South Africa at one stage, but there are no easy victories till you get a man called Yusuf Pathan out. He watched from the dressing room as South Africa blew away India's top order, he watched on helplessly as the Indian middle order surrendered meekly. He had seen enough, it was time for action and he jumped into the scene - like an Indian movie hero taking on the mighty opponents single handedly. Sixers were hit at will, boundaries were found with ease. With Zaheer for company, he blasted away to his 2nd ODI ton, off just 68 balls to take India from a humiliating position to a stage where even victory was possible. The duo added 100 entertaining runs before Yusuf Pathan departed to give heartbreak for Indian fans. But South Africa have emerged deserving winners - they held their nerves better and came out the better team. They clinch the series 3-2. India will have to wait to win an ODI series in Proteas land!

What a poor end to a terrific start for the Proteas!! Well, thats how the entire series has been - no team has had an upper hand throughout. Put in to bat by India, they had a bad start with Smith falling early to Zaheer once again. But van Wyk and Amla ensured that there were no other hiccups as they put on 97 runs for the 2nd wicket. van Wyk registered his 3rd ODI fifty in the process. Yuvraj Singh brought India back into the game by removing van Wyk and AB De Villiers in quick succession. In walked JP Duminy, who along with Amla ground the Indian attack and put on 102 for the 5th wicket. Amla continued his supreme form and went on to score his 7th ODI ton. SA lost wickets in a hurry after the rain break, with Munaf Patel and Zaheer Khan bowling a terrific spell in the death. They went from 231 - 4 to 250 - 9 in a matter of 3 overs! If not for this collapse, India would've been chasing much more than 268. It will be an interesting run chase this. The series is at stake! Join us in 25 minutes for India's reply.

The D/L method has come into play and India will be chasing 268 runs in 46 overs at a rate of 5.83 rpo. Meanwhile, there will be a 25 min innings break, after which, the Indian chase will get underway.

45.6 Zaheer to Tsotsobe, no run, full toss on the off stump, Tsotsobe taps it back to Zaheer, just one run off the over! Magnificent over that. Amla was a spectator at the other end.

Zaheer to Steyn, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!

45.2 Zaheer to Peterson, out Bowled!! that's the best ball you could ever bowl in the death overs! Peterson has been Zaheer-ed!

5:15 PM IST: It has stopped raining folks, good news! Play will begin at 5:30 PM IST, that is 15 minutes from now. It will be a 46-over per side affair. SA will bat for 4 overs, and then there is an innings break, which is ridiculous considering the bad weather.

5:00 PM IST: No news yet on the start of play, the rain is playing hide and seek, the groundsmen are busy bringing in the covers and taking them off every now and then. Stay tuned for the latest.

Not any great news as yet folks, Infact the rain has got heavier as I type. There are blue skies around, hope for the best.

Its raining again and the covers are back on.. this is frustrating..!

Some good news. Rain has stopped and the covers are off..

Well, the umpires finally decide to walk off the field. Ravi Shastri says 'It looks like a passing shower'. We hope that he gets it right at least this time. The covers are on.

The rain is getting heavier, Munna has the ball in his hands, the umpires decide to stay on. Dhoni is taking his time getting his field placing right. That's not making the crowd happy.

Slight drizzle at Centurion, let's hope that it is just a passing shower.

Chawla: We're looking forward to creating history in SA, we want to do well and win this game. Our part time spinners have done well here and I also want to contribute and do well today. I am elated to be part of the WC squad, its a dream come true for me. I have never played a single game in India and I am looking forward to experiencing the thrill there.

Dhoni: We are going to bowl first. The ball does a bit initially and we would like to make the most of it. Irrespective of what happens today, we are going back home. No added pressure. It has been a closely fought series, that's what international cricket is all about.

Smith: We would have bowled too, it is a good ground to chase. The crowds have been fantastic, we have a full house again today, hopefully the game lives upto all the hype. We are going in with the same side.

India have won the toss and elected to field

Squads: India bring in Piyush Chawla for Ashish Nehra. South Africa are going in with an unchanged side.

Pitch report: There was some rain in the morning, but the sun is beating hard now. There has been 40 ODIs here, 25 day games, 17 have been won by the side batting second. Coming back to the pitch, it does not look that great. But, often the pitch plays better than it looks. The wicket is patchy, once the batsmen see through the initial overs, it will be a fantastic day to bat on feels Shaun Pollock.

The sun has come out now, good signs.

Gary Kirsten: I am very happy with the way things have gone so far. A couple of Indian players have proved their mettle. The players have learnt quickly, playing in the South African conditions mainly depend on your mental state, you need to anticipate. The guys have played good cricket from quite some time. The youngsters have come out and they are fighting for their spot in the World Cup XI. The guys will get some time out to freshen up before the WC, they have been under a lot of mental stress since September. It is important that the guys don't pick up injuries at this stage.

Weather update: The conditions are slightly overcast, not as bad as it was predicted to be. There are a few scattered clouds, fingers crossed, we may get a result.

'None of the teams hold advantage, we have to go out and play well on Sunday. It would be a slightly better batting wicket than what we have seen so far in this series,' Smith at the press conference.

"The more the number of in-form batsmen, the better it is. I think it's a big positive for us, and we hope that he (Virat) keeps scoring," Dhoni at the press conference.

A warm welcome to the series decider, you can also call it 'the tour decider'. A nerve-wracking Test series, a fantastic T20 and a closely fought ODI series, we have seen it all. This would be the last ODI that the two teams would be playing before the World Cup. None of them would want to end up on the losing side, and if the weather holds good, we are in for a crackerjack of a contest. This is Ajith, I will take you through along with Karthik and Pradeep. Don't go away, we'll be back with more news.

Preview:
Just like the Test series was decided on the final day of final Test, so too, the ODI series looks set to go down to the wire, with the score-line reading a tantalizing 2-2 for India and South Africa.
South Africa have outplayed India in both their victories, while both India's wins have been in close matches that saw them emerge triumphant as much due to greater mental fortitude as cricketing skills.
To register a maiden ODI series triumph in South Africa though, India will have to pull up their collective batting socks, since batting has been the main worry for the visitors, with the bowlers acquitting themselves well on the whole.
Virat Kohli has been the only bright spot in the series for India in an otherwise out-of-form batting line-up, which has been hit hard by injuries to key players like Sachin Tendulkar and opening duo of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir.
The rest of the batting has come a cropper in the series so far with skipper Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina all failing to consolidate on the starts they have got.
What will be worrying Dhoni the most is the opening slot. Rohit Sharma's woeful run continues at the top while Parthiv Patel, who replaced an out-of-touch Murali Vijay in the last match, failed to make any impact.
Dhoni himself conceded that the middle-order need to fire after the visitors failed to secure a historic series-win in the fourth ODI.
"It's (Kohli's batting) a big positive for us. It's good for us at number three. He has carried through the innings but the other batsmen also need to chip in. The middle-order has not clicked," Dhoni said.
"It (final match) will be interesting. The team that handles pressure better will win," he added.
India's bowling was a tad wayward in the fourth ODI, but for a large part of the South African innings it was the Indians that had the upperhand, but allowed it to slip. However, given that the bowlers have generally been consistent, and were good for more than half of the 4th ODI too, Dhoni and coach Kirsten are likely to work more towards addressing the batting issues.
With World Cup around the corner, India will not only want to win the series in South Africa but also see the youngsters, who have done well in the recent past, show some character on the pacy South Africa pitches before the game's show-piece event, which starts next month.
Winning the series is not going to be easy for the visitors though, with South Africa showing that they have the stomach for a fight with their handsome win in the fourth match. Given that they had lost the previous two matches by close margins, it was a commendable effort by South Africa to pick themselves up, shake themselves off and put in the kind of performance they did. That win will also mean South Africa go into the final match high on confidence.
The Proteas may be missing the required balance in the side in the absence of veteran all-rounder Jacques Kallis, but someone or the other has chipped in with runs for the home team when they needed most.
Among the batsmen, the most reliable has been JP Duminy, who has stolen a march over the more illustrious names in the line-up, leaving behind the likes of Amla, Graeme Smith and AB de Villiers.
The left-handed Duminy scored fifties in consecutive matches to rescue the South African innings in both the third and fourth ODIs.
Duminy's crucial unbeaten 71 in the fourth ODI turned out to be a match-winning effort, and also saw him share two vital partnerships - both above 50 runs - that bailed South Africa to safety after wickets had fallen in a hurry.
The South African bowling, meanwhile, has been the talking point of the series with Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel and Lonwabo Tostsobe igniting fire upfront while Botha has been stemming the run flow in the middle overs.
The Test series was drawn and India won the lone T20 International. In that sense, this match is the decider not just for the ODI series, but for the tour as a whole. If South Africa win, they will hold the bragging rights, since a win in a 5-match ODI series would carry greater weight than a win in the lone T20. If India win, they would have gone back from South Africa having drawn the Tests and won the limited-overs contests. In short, both teams have everything to play for.
